Highly recommended for serious riders! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent tire for the price *by D***N on April 11, 2026* It is a mountain bike tyre. Fits on by Specialized 29-inch rim and got me riding again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good all around tire. *by T***T on August 15, 2025* This is a great tire for trail riders that ride to the park. These are great on pavement, roll easy and smooth. I can lean the bike in a corner no issues. The trails I ride are mostly hard pack with loose rocks around. These cross kings have surprisingly good grip in the trails. The tread wears slowly on the street so these tires can last longer than others I tried. There are better tires for off road but for someone who rides both these are really great. I’ve bought 3 now. ## Frequently Bought Together - ContinentalCROSS King - Continental Race King Mountain Bike Tire - Tubeless, Folding, Black, BlackChili, ProTection, E25, Black or Black/Bernstein, 26", 27.5" or 29" sizes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/134597555-cross-king](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/134597555-cross-king) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
